Does the 2021 Bora have tire pressure monitoring?
1 Answers
21 Bora tire pressure monitoring is on the dashboard. Effects of high tire pressure on the car: High tire pressure saves fuel and makes steering lighter. Excessive tire pressure reduces the contact area between the tire and the ground, increasing the pressure and wear per unit area, which can easily lead to brake failure, tire blowouts when encountering road protrusions or depressions, damage to the car's suspension system, and discomfort during rides. It may also give a false sense of improved power. Although high tire pressure has benefits, it also has drawbacks, such as increasing braking distance because it lifts the tire from its flat position, reducing the contact area and affecting tire tread grip. Additionally, high tire pressure can cause sidewall bulges, especially when driving over curbs. Effects of low tire pressure on the car: Low tire pressure shortens braking distance and improves grip during turns, but it also has disadvantages. Low pressure makes the car consume more fuel, makes steering heavier during turns, and gives a sense of insufficient power. Too low tire pressure increases the contact area with the ground, causing abnormal temperature rise inside the tire during driving. At the same time, severe sidewall deformation accelerates the aging of internal steel wires and fabric layers, increasing the risk of tire blowouts, higher fuel consumption, and reduced tire lifespan.
